Maybe tied with "I'm not even sorry" with dessert all over his face.

i am notorious for eating from other people's plate in my family and say that every single time.

that being said, if anybody ever orders anything they don't like, i am the defacto "we're just going to take dad's entree because he never orders anything bad" guy.

FYI.... if you're thinking of buying the DVD or Blu-ray or streaming Friends from somewhere, buy the DVD version.

The Friends episodes that they show(ed) on Netflix, TBS, and on HBONOW were re-edited for viewing on a16x9 screen so you won't see the entire episodes as they were originally shown especially the "Supersized" Friends episodes. Now grant it, they didn't edit out any important parts of the show, more like minutes or seconds off the episodes, but you'll see it how you originally remember them.

That is... if you originally watched it when they first aired.

I still love the "Morning's Here" episode. That "Okay" Joey gives at the end makes me lose it.

Just to throw a little more salt in the wounds, Cindy Crawford's going to be on, Lady Gaga, the guy who played Mr Heckles, who is 80 years old, the guy who played Joey's identical hand twin from Reno 9-1-1, Gunther, Reese WItherspoon, David Beckham, Kelly Kapoor, Jon Snow, but not Paul Rudd.

I don't understand why no Paul Rudd.... Everybody loves Paul Rudd.

No Mike. Just Crap Bag.

If you need an easy way to remember it, just think of a bag of crap.

My 9 year old son literally falls on the floor laughing every time he sees that episode. Probably bad parenting but my wife has Friends episodes on in the background a lot and he watches them from time to time.

My sister has a playlist on Spotify called "Toot de la Froot". The Joey speaks french episode is one of my favorites. "Good job little buddy" has me rolling every time.

Tough to see Perry slowed down like that but glad he's alive and fighting rather than six feet under for this.

Matt telling Perry he was in a three-shot was hilarious.

Jumping in front of the shot is classic Perry from all those blooper reels.

Mini-Focus-thread revival, Friends edition, not that any of these are all that story-worthy...

Jennifer Anniston & Courteney Cox - I lived in Malibu the summer I interned in LA, and was walking along the beach on a random weekday, hardly anyone else around, save for three people in the distance walking toward me... David Arquette, walking a dog, and a woman on either side of him, who turned out to be his then-wife, Courteney, along with Anniston. Walked right past them, but didn't bother them or anything.

Lisa Kudrow - I was once in the drive-through line behind her and who I assume was her son, at the In & Out by my old apartment. I thought it could be her based on what I could see of her profile, and then when the attendant at the window kind of squealed when she pulled up, my suspicion was confirmed.

Matthew Perry - About a decade ago, some friends and I once snuck into a birthday party for Odette Annable at a hotel downtown where we were drinking (I kept seeing celebrities walk by and down a side corridor, so we finally/subtly followed the latest one, Elizabeth Banks, to this secluded, back outdoor bar area, and just walked right in). Perry was there, a couple of my friends tried chatting him up, and I just remember him having a cigarette in one hand, a glass of wine in the other, and happily exclaiming, "Just living the life, man. Just living the life" to whatever it was they asked.

David Schwimmer - Saw him and who looked to be his parents plus a date at one of my favorite restaurants one night a couple years ago.

So, yeah, the only Friend I haven't seen in real life is Matt LeBlanc, but one of these days I'll complete the cast.

What chemicals are you using to preserve their locks of hair in your crawlspace?

Mainly formaldehyde. But I have Anniston's in a special deep freeze liquid nitrogen tank I lovingly call " The Rachel." You should come over sometime when my mom's not home and I can show them to you.

Nice.

Ever seen Episodes? Seems like it'd be right up your alley. It's basically Entourage, except with Matt LeBlanc playing himself. Hilarious.

This is going to sound a little harsh, but it comes from a place of love.

Your job's a joke.

You're broke.

Your love life's DOA.

I think I saw the first 2 seasons, really funny. Not in the least because they have Joey taking over the part played in an English show by Harry Potter's Uncle Vernon.

I've seen several say that, but other than Courtney Cox's work, I don't think any of them look too bad (Perry sounds bad but doesn't look horrible).

I mean, they are in their early to mid-50s. I think it's just more a function of still seeing Friends reruns all the time so most people's perception of them is still of them in their late 20s.

I mean they are older now but I would not say they have aged as gracefully as some other actors.

Other actors in their 50s:
Brad Pitt - 57
Cate Blanchett - 52
RDJ - 56
Matt Damon - 50
Sandra Bullock - 56
Ethan Hawke - 50
Steve Carell - 58

Other than Lisa Kudrow (57) and Cox (56), the other members are 54 or younger.

Kudrow looks the best by far.
Schwimmer looks fine. Just older.
LeBlanc really let himself go in the past 10 years.
Cox has had terrible plastic surgery.
Matthew Perry seems to have sadly had his drug use catch up with him.
Even Aniston seems to have had a lot of work done now.

Sure, there are people that have aged better (it also doesn't hurt that your list contains people that have been considered some of the most attractive people in the world). But not looking as good as Brad Pitt at 50 doesn't mean you look bad.

Fair enough. Though these arent your average people either. They were all extremely attractive in their 20s and 30s, are rich and have been working actors since then. One was married to Mr. Pitt. Most of them would probably look pretty good without mountains of plastic surgery or a decade of drug abuse.

I think Lisa Kudrow has aged fantastically, and I found her the least attractive when they were younger.

I'm still watching it and getting an absolute kick out of it. I mean... who cares what they look like. I think it's obvious Perry has had a stroke at some point.

I love Friends and just find joy in watching them talk about their experiences.
